Some people are sympathetic some even admire and envy her freedom and defiance. As she says: “Je m’en fous – je bouge” (“I don’t care – I just move on”). Mona rejects her life as a wage-slave secretary and takes off with her tent on her back, sleeping in fields or on roadsides, getting cash-in-hand jobs where she can – and facing brutal misogyny and assault. It is a testimony narrative that bears comparison to Welles’s Citizen Kane.

Sandrine Bonnaire plays Mona, a young homeless woman whom we see dead in a freezing ditch in the film’s opening and whose life is opened up through a series of flashback episodes and interviews with the people who encountered her on the road. Varda’s classic Vagabond, or Sans Toit Ni Loi (No Shelter No Law), is a film with the authentic spirit of the French New Wave: complex, questioning, demanding, passionate.

#KIKI ON THE RIVER PATCH#
In Nuts in May, that place is England, the small patch of scenery where none of us can stand one other. The best of Mike Leigh always peers into places no one else has thought to look.
And here, damp campsites become a battleground of tribal identities, the kind of civil war we have all been living in lately. But something darker ticks away too, Leigh’s world filled with the thwarted and put-upon. It was only a short step from Keith’s eventual meltdown to Alan Partridge assaulting a BBC exec with a wheel of blue cheese. If the couple’s organic piety feels ahead of its time, a lot of the laughs echoed into the future.
The comedy is flawlessly sharp, the easy laughs of drenched cagoules whittled to a point by the eye for detail. The most reliably doleful voice in British cinema rings loud and clear through the misadventures of Keith and Candice Marie, innocents on a Dorset camping holiday. This multi-course meal features all of Kiki’s favorites in a celebratory family style presentation.Pitch perfect … Alison Steadman, Roger Sloman and Anthony O’Donnell in Mike Leigh’s Play for Today, Nuts in May. Get whisked away to Mykonos on October 27 starting at 1PM. To celebrate the momentous occasion, Chef Steve Rhee will be preparing all of Kiki’s Greatest Hits for $299 (family style for up to 4 guests) which includes: Pikalia (spreads), tomato salad, grilled octopus, Kiki chips, lamb combo, Lavraki, whole chicken, grilled vegetables, lemon potato, and truffle fries. Kiki will also be celebrating a two-year anniversary this weekend with an Aegean feast flanked by sparkler-festooned champagne bottles and a smattering of nightlife celebs. Guests can enjoy Kiki’s Golden Hour Cocktails and Bites weekly, every Monday-Friday from 5:30pm-7:30pm. To see their entire Golden Hour menu, visit the KiKi website. The restaurant just launched a new “Golden Hour Cocktails” spritzer menu offering $10 spritzer cocktails like Hail To The Queen with Hendricks Gin, Champagne, Grapefruit Craft Mixer, House-made Simple Syrup and Fresh Lime Juice. Notables like The Naughty Fork’s Sami Schnur, Sweet Portfolio’s Valentina Mussi and local socialites Elizabeth Resnick and Ilyssa Whitehead took to the bar to shake, pour and sip delicious libations featuring fresh strawberries, torched rosemary and a sugar rim.
From behind the chandelier and candelabra-festooned bar, Stepanek took guests through a step by step creation of the Seville Loves Miami Spritzer. So it was with great delight that we headed to swanky Miami River spot Kiki on The River to glean intel from mixology master and Beverage Director Peter Stepanek. We love when a good bartender can not only make you a strong cocktail but also impart some knowledge along the way. Influencers are good at making cocktails, apparently
